• Scripts added/updated in this PR do not have a language file extension unless they are meant to be sourced and not run standalone.

Please include a pydantic update to address @unl0ck's comments in #333

I haven't been doing much work on the repo lately and don't want to interfere with your work.

Then when this gets merged, I'll release 0.19.0

@unixorn The pydantic update is already in main, if you like you can already release as is, do not wait for this PR, I will be enjoying the Easter holidays now.

Oh nice! Enjoy the holiday - I should have been more clear that I just wanted it rolled in, not that I wanted it on a specific schedule.

I've been busy with work and not able to give it much attention, so I really appreciate all the work you've been doing on this project.
